Pictures don't do it justice. It's a beautiful property. Pool bar manager v i c t o r was the only issue. The hotel manager made up for it. Great lady with short hair, wears a skirt. She didn't provide her name. Alonso at the front desk - great service as well.

We booked this hotel for an early flight out of SJO, one night, because the shuttle wax provided. However, had to get a taxi from and to the airport. The hotel did not respond to our request for a shuttle to the hotel and the shuttle was for 4 am. They only run every 2 hours in the morning. The room was fine, had worst nachos of my life at the bar for $17.

Is ok to spend a few days the lobby is beautiful the rest of the hotel need some updates. Some of the staff are very rude. They really need to get some very good security because one day we spend all day in the pool and there was a non customer in the property and in the pool. The breakfast was ok but need some changing there manu.

Overall, our stay at Barceló San José was okay. The hotel, rooms, and lobby were clean, and the staff was nice. However, the pool area could use better maintenance since there were a lot of leaves and debris, especially in the kiddie pool. The hotel also feels a bit outdated. Breakfast was just okay — it would be nice to have more variety and international food options for guests from different countries.

The ambiance of the hotel in general, is quite pleasing. Super friendly staff are quite willing to answer any questions that staff may have. The rooms were clean, functional, The layout of the property with its lush tropical gardens gives it an advantage, considering it's surrounded by small homes and businesses, and a busy highway very close by.
